  1. Can I put it totally to the left, where it was in Windows XP (near the “start” button)?
    If I can, how? Tnx

  2. Step 4: Windows 10 there is no dotted line to the left. And there is no choice of show text or show title. I just need to find an earlier version history on a document.

  3. For Windows 10 , right mouse click on the quick launch window and the popup has the options near the top.
